Addleshaw Goddard

Addleshaw Goddard advises on high-value, politically and commercially sensitive transport and infrastructure projects across the rail, maritime, and logistics sectors. The team is ‘a natural choice’ for complex rolling stock procurements, fleet leasing arrangements, public tender processes, and strategic asset acquisitions and disposals. The practice is led by Simon Gwynne, who advises on structured financings and portfolio transactions across rail, shipping, and aviation; Ed Watt, based in Edinburgh, who focuses on major maritime projects, including vessel construction, fleet renewal, asset restructuring, and marine investments; and Andrew Maskill in Manchester, who assists on a broad range of asset finance and leasing matters, including lease structuring, receivables and vendor finance, lease portfolios, and tax issues. Newcomer Barbara Pansadoro advises on the sale and purchase of corporate jets, along with maintenance and lease contracts.
